wow just wow and now we all know why they have to put warning labels on everything that are just plain stupid...

hopefully this was just one of those "pics" but if it is real which it likely is how sad....

But the dealer told me I can tow any pontoon!

Real Weight dolly from the 1950's

When we first got our trailer almost 4 years ago, someone told us to watch "The Long Long Trailer" with Lucy and Desi.
Funny movie, and I noticed that they towed with a regular car and had a dolly under the hitch to take the weight off. Seems like a great idea. You can see it in this photo. It's clearer in the movie.
I haven't seen one in real life, have you?

Don't see the issue. The guys just using the car to launch his boat. I'm thinking it's their toad and the boast stored there.

If you pull a trailer, you need to see The Long, Long Trailer!
